Board review: 09 Stepchild JP Walker 151


So i got to ride this board for the last two weeks of the 07/08 season at Brighton resort in Utah. I will say that this board is super poppy and flexes well. This board did not have the new R.E.T.T. edges on it.(See below for R.E.T.T. specifications) As for set up i ran 15 15 all the way out which was a 24in stance. For tuning all i did was run a wet stone on the edges to take a little edge off. The board was super smooth on jibs and didn't catch on burrs. One thing i loved about this board was how well it locked on to the rail; board slides, tail presses, 50-50 didn't matter it stayed locked on as long as your drop in was good. The board pops well off jumps, very true in the air as well. All in all if your looking for a solid true twin park board this season take a look at this board you wont be disapointed.

R.E.T.T. : Rounded Edge Taper Tuning:this feature is offered on the 147 and 151 models. The edges in the middle of the board are pre-tuned round. The tuning is gradually tapered out to a 90 degree edge by the time the taper meets the board's contact points on the tip and tail.
